MR: Speaking of something special, the song 'We
Don't Need It' is really beautiful and pretty topical considering the
economy. I love how you tell your family you were laid off and how you
now won't be able to get things for them like running shoes for your son
and a new dress for your daughter. Then, one by one, your family tells
you what they're going to do to help, like rake leaves and have a yard
sale, because all they need is you.
KM: As a kid, that's what I felt. I grew up in a middle
class Compton family with my father. I didn't care about the fact my
father was broke, I was with my dad" (Mike Ragogna, "
A Conversation with Keb Mo,"
Huffington Post, 8/8/11).
